Lyrics

I sat along the sandy banks of Tuscaloo
Those rippling waves just left me wondering what to do
When desperation came and hit me on the head,
Before I knew it, I was on my way to you
Yeah, I was off (Hey!)

I swam for miles and miles and miles and miles it seems,
The farther along I got, the more it felt a dream
Face down staring at that lonesome ocean floor
I could no longer ignore that you're not mine anymore

Oh Ellie, Ellie, where'd you go?
I'm losing time and I've got no place left to go
Oh Ellie, Ellie, don't you know
you said goodbye, but you'll say hello again
Ellie, Ellie, why'd you go?
This water's cold and I am freezing head to toe

Surely but slow, I'll find my way to you

I may not be the smartest man you'll ever see,
but I do know one thing, without you, there is no me
So I'm on my way to show you we were meant to be,
and come hell or high water, my plan will be complete
Yes indeed (Hey!)

I may be the latest casualty I cannot lie
On this briny highway, good intentions come to die
Without your air to breathe, I can't survive I know
but as long as I'm thinking of you, it's a hell of a way to go

Oh Ellie, Ellie, where'd you go?
I'm losing time and I've got no place left to go
Oh Ellie, Ellie, don't you know
you said goodbye, but you'll say hello again
Ellie, Ellie, why'd you go?
This water's cold and I am freezing head to toe
